Overheated circulation pump, Blocked pump, Motor winding failure, Control board motor driver fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and allow it to cool before working underneath.

  • Check for obstructions: Remove filters and inspect the sump for foreign objects that could jam the pump.
  • Access pump: Remove the bottom panel and inspect the circulation pump for signs of overheating or burning.
  • Test motor: Measure winding resistance and check for continuity to ground. Replace the pump if readings are abnormal.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the pump to the control board for damage.
  • Control board: If the pump tests good but E20 persists, the main PCB may have a motor driver issue and should be serviced by a professional.
